Chelsea Market, NYC

the decorations in Chelsea Market were outstanding--definitely not your run of the mill holiday decor. This tree is totally covered with CD's--many cut & twisted into shapes. A closeup of the tree--sorry it's so dark...... Close up of a wreath made tthe same way--I don't think it would go in my house, but it was interesting!
A fountain. The building that Chelsea Market occupies used to be a Nabisco( National Biscuit Co.) bakery that made many products from Saltines to Oreos. They took the huge lobby and made it into Chelsea market & the rest of the building is office space--the Food Network is in this building.They did a great job of incorporating many of the features of the bakery into the new space. It now has quite a few restaurants and a few shops in it. It was bustling on Saturday.



More decorations.




Love these lights! All made with plastic cups--wonder how they're made so they don't burn?






























Gelato shop right next to the bokstore--I think there were at least 3 bakeries in there, too!








They left the giant fans from the bakery .....











And a cool light

Those pics are great. I love the lights made from cups!!! Did you eat anything at the bakeries or gelato place?

Jana--we didn't eat anything at Chelsea Market--most places were pretty pricey & neither of us was that hungry while we were there--we walked down the street a little ways & found a great wine bar--Jo has photos of our sandwiches on FB

What a cool looking place! I'd have to agree about the CD decorations. Interesting, but I don't think I'd want them in my house.

Thanks for the picture of the CD wreath and tree, I couldn't tell from Farmer'sDaughter's picture how the tree was made, but your close up and particularly that of the wreath shed some light on that.
